VLCobject javascript lib

Hi all
i've made a small javascript lib : VLCobject, based on SWFobject (
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/)
it just detects and embeds the VLC plugin in pure javascript.
you can find it here :
http://code.revolunet.com/VLCobject/EN
i will update my older lib that adds controls to the plugin (VLCjs) to use this detection tool asap
thanx for your comments

First of all, thank you very much for the contribution. The library is very nice and easy to use.
Is it possible to launch subtitles from an external srt or ssa file using your library? If possible, could I simply add some command to the html page or it would be necessary to edit the library? I have no idea how to do it.

I have customized the advanced example to suit my needs. The most important modification is related to filename and subtitle variables.
Code: Select all
// subtitles
if (document.getElementById("eng").checked && document.getElementById("filename").value!="") {
if (document.getElementById("ssa").checked && document.getElementById("filename").value!="") {
vlc_controls.options.set("sub-file", "../videos/" + document.getElementById("filename").value +".Eng.ssa");
}
else {
vlc_controls.options.set("sub-file", "../videos/" + document.getElementById("filename").value +".Eng.srt");
}
}
else {
if (document.getElementById("ssa").checked && document.getElementById("filename").value!="") {
vlc_controls.options.set("sub-file", "../videos/" + document.getElementById("filename").value +".ssa");
}
else {
vlc_controls.options.set("sub-file", "../videos/" + document.getElementById("filename").value +".srt");
}
}
then
Code: Select all
vlc_controls.play("../videos/" + document.getElementById('filename').value +".avi")
and
Code: Select all
<SELECT id="filename">
<OPTION value="videofilenamewithoutextension">videofilenamewithoutextension</OPTION>
<SELECT>
<input type="checkbox" id="ssa"/> ssa
<input type="checkbox" id="eng"/> eng
The code modification above creates a drop-down video list and allow me to choose if I want to load subtitles in English or Portuguese (default language). It also allow to choose between srt and ssa subtitle formats, if available, and automatically load them based on the filename. I know I should use "trim" function instead of adding the avi extension using
document.getElementById('filename').value +".avi", but I'm not a programmer and this was the only way I could make it work. I'm only viewing avi and mp4 files anyway, so I replaced my mp4 files extension with avi and this works pretty fine for me.
My problem is that I'm trying to load the page using
Mozilla Prism and the subtitles doesn't show up. They work fine in Firefox, but not in Prism. They also fail when embedding the page as a wrapper component in Joomla CMS or as a pop-up window. Any idea why this is happening?

Well this i really STRANGE that it works in Firefox and not in Prism as it is firefox based, must be a javascript issue
About joomla, this should be a javascript issue too, check the 'debug' box, when you click the options icon in the VLC widget to see if subtitles options are passed or not...
try to debug and tell us

When using Prism the subtitle path is not found. I tried with an url instead of file path and it works.

When using Prism the subtitle path is not found. I tried with an url instead of file path and it works.
I using file path again because the timer and video seek doesn't work with an url. I'm not sure if this problem is related to buffer or something else, but since the file is on a local server it shouldn't be a problem right?
Another issue I have with the web player is related to the output modules. I prefer DirectX over DirectX3D because the image is more crisp and clear, but when using DirectX with the Firefox plugin and VLCObject the player do not work in full screen. It fills the entire screen, but the video is only displayed in the original size and location. The rest of the screen is rendered black.

caio, thank you for detailed information
about the ssek problem : it depends how you host it and which codecs. For example i cannot seek on Apache+Avi files but Apache+mpeg works...
for DirectX, i dont know anything about that, maybe a specific firefox problem

Thaks.That explains my problem, because I'm also using Apache+avi.

I don't know why, but it is working now using DirectX

With much satisfaction, i'm using your api.
It's great!
However, I'm having a problem sometimes.
Namely, with loading the subtitles and the avi problem of vlc
Is it possible to disable the embedde subtitles? Because I'd like to load external subtitles...

embedded subtitles ? you mean in the video itself ?
Re: VLCobject javascript lib

by NicoJuicy
Yes.
When you mux a video with subs (a avi, mkv file can contain subtitles).
Also, i'm still not able to have the subtitles played from a location

guys, I have seen mozilla prism being proposed as an option, but same page loaded in firefox, does not work in prism. I have made sure that there is no error in js and the prism console does not show any errors.

well, every thing seams to work correctly, the plugin gets detected, it shows the waiting stream, then after a few seconds it just shows a black screen, any help would be very welcome
same page loaded in firefox, works correctly with no javascript errors
I use the VLCcontrols and firefox on linux fedora 12 (just upgraded)
could it be some problem realted to the output filter? (graphinc acceleration?)

ok, I can confirm, it was a problem enabling the plugin in prism
